Ready to build your cello technique? These workouts will help your left-hand fingers get stronger, move faster, and play more in tune. The right hand works on detache, spiccato, staccato, string crossing, and more!

Four pages in each key help you focus on learning the finger patterns and extensions in that key. This book gives you exercises in the keys of C, G, F, D, and B-flat major.

Adding one or more pages of this book to the beginning of your practice can help your cello practice be both more efficient andmore effective.

Who this book can help: Beginning cellists who know most of the notes in first position. A prior knowledge of extended first position is helpful.

How to use this book: This book could be the very first thing you play after you sit down to practice! Play 1-4 pages a day, as time allows. Play slowly at first, focusing on good form, clear tone, and good intonation.

Études for Solo Guitar
The subject of creating an educational aid for guitar students of an intermediate level that will serve also as a similar aid for theory and composition students fascinates me and motivates my compositional thought for quite a while. The objective was to create miniature complete works for the guitar, as J. S. Bach did with his fifteen inventions, in the ?manner? of an Étude that deals with specific aspects of guitar techniques and musicianship in general.


These Études are gradually graded based on their difficulty and style. They cover all the positions of the guitar and explore known and some unfamiliar techniques for the contemporary guitarist.
I used a compositional language more familiar for the level of the intermediate guitarist but without sacrificing my original compositional voice so these pieces could be used as concert works by the advanced musicians as well. My intention is to educate students in a multilevel study environment and to be able to promote the music of our time. During my teaching years I found that students become better musicians when they have been taught to adapt certain performance difficulties and compositional techniques at an earlier level of their training.
